John Chiles		3	6-1, 195	Freaky enough to play in 2007? Horns fans have high hopes he'll play QB at some point.

I think I just wet myself with glee.

the only thing missing from that picture was a red cape behind CBrown's neck.
I am not sure if its a good thing but I do have my doubts regarding that picture's authenticity... it almost looks as if it was doctored... but hopefully it wasn't and Horns fans will relish freaky plays like that from him for years to come.

It's the optimism that gets pumped.

I find myself clicking on the imgage link and imagining the possibilities with him in burnt orange. If he can leap like that, he must have a killer first step and unbelievable cut back ability.

What are his hands like? any chance this guy could be fielding punts?

Offseason

The offseason is the time for us to dream, baby.

John Chiles will be making plays none of us have ever seen before.

Curtis Brown was fathered by the dude in this video.

Tray Allen is going to pancake Kellen Heard into the Gulf of Mexico.

Until Texas loses that first game... it's all big, big dreams.

hm

lighting is consistant, doesn't look retouched to me. just looks better because his knees are drawn up. he's got some spring in him.

What I like the most

Looking at that list, all the guys are 4-star or better and they're our weakest defensive positions. Mack and Co did a great job of recruiting to creat a weakness into what may be our strength in 2 or 3 years

...til Gabriel blows his horn
